Aircraft tractors are vehicles whose role, as their name suggests, is to move aircraft around an airport. They are therefore very powerful vehicles, capable of towing machines weighing up to 200 tonnes. The vehicles used in airports are not always the same, and fall into several categories.
Aircraft tractors start with different engines. In fact, most aircraft towing equipment is powered by diesel engines. In recent years, however, a growing number of electrically-powered aircraft tow tractors have appeared on the market.
The various motors all have their advantages and disadvantages. While electric motors seem to offer better performance and are favored for environmental reasons, their cost and range must be taken into account.
The tractors we provide for towing your aircraft have many qualities. For a start, SOVAM tractors are certified Made In France. This is your assurance that our equipment has been manufactured in accordance with the standards in force in your country. French standards are renowned for their high standards of quality and robustness.
What’s more, the Made In France label gives you full traceability of the raw materials used to manufacture our tractors. SOVAM aircraft tractors are also distinguished by their efficient design. The engine frames of our aircraft tow tractors are designed for easy access.
As a result, tractor maintenance is much easier, quicker and less costly, as are repairs. We have also chosen not to develop electric motorization for this type of product, in order to promote it for export.
